Still not high enough. Think about it - the magic will be made permanent. If
it's 200 or even 400, anyone who can pull together suffficient P.P.E. 
will be making magical items on a regular basis. The Permanence spell I 
made for my Metamage O.C.C. is a 15th level spell with a P.P.E. cost of 1000.
I did that because it IS a very powerful spell and should be treated 
accordingly. The few players I know would misuse/abuse it if they had it. 
Besides, a spell that powerful would be something worth making an 
adventure out of...
